Tom Ford is Bond's tailor for the 2008 movie Quantum of Solace and the 2012 movie SkyFall.

Quantum of SolaceActor Daniel Craig is reported to have ruined around 40 bespoke suits during filming of Quantum of Solace. "It really is a crime. It makes me weep every time. They're great suits," Craig told the British press.

Tom Ford was very secretive about the items that were used in Quantum of Solace, but one item is confirmed: a black Cardigan. This cardigan was available in the exclusive Tom Ford retailers but is now sold out.

Another item, is a grey coat which bears the name "James Bond". It is the only Tom Ford clothing item (besides the sunglasses) that was branded as a "James Bond" item. It resembles the coat seen in the last scene of Quantum of Solace, although that one is dark blue or black.

SkyFallTom Ford worked closely with SkyFall costume designer Jany Temime to create a range of made-to-measure tailored clothing, eveningwear, suits, shirts, knitwear, ties, accessories and eyewear (sunglasses). Tom Ford, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "I could not be happier to be dressing Daniel Craig again in the next James Bond film. James Bond epitomizes the TOM FORD man in his elegance, style and love of luxury. I am thrilled to move forward with this iconic character."

Tom Ford representatives have announced to Bond fan David Zaritsky that the two new styles of suit Craig wears in SkyFall are the Falconer and the Wetherby. The Falconer is a slim suit that Colin Firth wore in A Single Man. Besides the Falconer and Wetherly suits, Bond also wears a black coat and grey scarf by Tom Ford in the last scene.

About Tom FordTom Ford is an American fashion designer who gained international fame for his turnaround of the Gucci fashion house and the creation of the Tom Ford label He also directed a movie, the Oscar-nominated film A Single Man. Read more in the book Tom Ford.

First of all, Ian Fleming's books they never mentioned who made Bond's suits. It was always mentioned however that it was a shop in Savile Row in London. Not Italy like all of the Brioni and Tom Ford (which are made by Ermenegildo Zegna which by the way are excellent I own a couple) suits originate. Bond's original shirts and tweed jackets and ties were made by Turnbull & Asser as worn by Sean Connery.

After looking at the inital press pictures Bond never would have worn a Suit with such awful shoulders. They need to get back to Bond's core character. I cannot see bond saying I think I will buy a suit from the guy who designed flourescent sweaters and stocking for Gucci.

Fleming mentions numerous times where Bond gets his cash from. Only a small percentage actually comes from his salary, most of it he has as a result of his gambling addiction. Read Moonraker and you'll see that Bond has quite the retirement fund. Also, its assumed that Bond buys these things because he appreciates the finer things in life. These are his simple pleasures, and it's a very English thing to do, especially in the post-war period when you could actually get a Saville Row suit for an affordable price. If bond is going to literally spy around with extremely wealthy men, he has to look the part and act the part. I'm obviously speaking of the literary Bond.

fair point but i just dont think he would be so profligate as to spend Â£1000 on a sweater when he could be in john smedley cashmere or the like. his original style (connery in frwl ) came from the director terence young who had served as an Irish Guards officer and took connery to his tailor in conduit street, hence his military fitted style. and as for that horrible overcoat!........yuk. a cordings covert coat would be more stylish along classic lines and obviously half the price! more money to spend on dinner in scotts with his lady friends.

Derek, thanks again! Ugh, how I wish I lived over in England...There are so many cool things that I wish I had here in the states. I do get to drive a MINI though...

That's awesome that you've been given the opportunity to act in a Bond film! I would give a lot to be in a film. I have stared in a commercial though...My wife and I auditioned for a modeling/acting position, but got cut before the final round. Oh well. Anyways...Thanks again, Derek!

Hey, I would like to know if there is a store online that sells that black cardigan. And it mst be the Black Cardigan from Tom Ford, exactly the same. I would appreciate if I could get an reply on my question and maybe a link to the website if it's possible, Thanks.

Is Tom Ford really worth it? Im thinking about buying my first bespoke suit from them in a year or so after I graduate and am wondering if Ford is all it is cracked up to be? And does anyone know any details about their product line and list of bespoke services? Because their website is pretty worthless.

We haven't had much exposure to Tom Ford here in England, although I haven't seen any bad reports anywhere regarding his quality.Tom Ford has probably gained much from the product placement which makes me assume that Oswald Boetang would enjoy the same exposure.
It's great trivia to know exactly what Bond wears and also sets a benchmark for the correct details.However ,as other authors have correctly pointed out, there are many alternatives of high quality from other tailors and suppliers.
Surely it's better to dress like Craigs Bond and not as Bond because you might end up looking like your going to a fancy dress party - and look too obvious.
I think the Pea Coat works well for today's Bond as a 'Covert' coat may appear a little old fashioned (unless you go for the 'hackett' look by mixing old school with new school.)

For anyone living in Australia, I found a cardigan at Saba in their 2010 Winter range that is almost identical except it is slightly longer in length. It is available at David Jones and the Saba boutique on Hay Street in Perth for $169, comes in black or grey, I picked one up yesterday!

I would like to ask if anybody knows what coat is daniel craig wearing in Quantum of Solace, while he was getting out of the range rover and walking up stairs to meet M, in Michel's apartment. I really loved that coat and i would like to buy a similar one !

In the film Quantum of solace, there is a black guy who places a villian only for a few seconds on the dock, who is wearing an orange blotchy stretch t shirt,,,,where is the t shirt from and who made it.
Thanks

Hello,
I am willing to pay absurdly much for the TOM FORD BLACK CARDIGAN from Quantum of Solace. Reply to me if you have it for sale and name your price, or if you know someone that is wanting to sell it. Size: Medium or Small.
The white TOM FORD shirt I also would like, but this piece is not as important as the cardigan.
I will be looking forward to coming replies!
Best regards,
Jakob G
